Program Construct

What’s New

A Neurological Pivot for Mindset Shift

Through the program, we integrate neurological & behavioral techniques to guide participants into adopting the mindset, behaviors & footsteps of a CHRO so that our future human capital leaders can walk the talk.

Each module & format activates a different cognitive area of the brain, making this program a holistic and integrated exercise in recruiting neurological activity across the entire brain.

Time Commitment

Traditional formats of delivering this curriculum may require a commitment of 260 hours.
But Jombay’s learning experiences employ a combination of CXO led Master Classes, Thought Leadership Competitions, and Self Paced Learning to enable us to deliver this in 80-100 hours.
